Andhra Pradesh has introduced a first-of-its-kind initiative in India—the Neighbourhood Workspace (NWS) Policy 2025–2030. The policy aims to bring work closer to people’s homes by setting up small work centres in every mandal, reducing the need for long commutes to crowded cities.
Recently, the government issued a G.O. outlining detailed guidelines for the policy. These centres will provide basic office facilities, including seating, meeting rooms, power supply, high-speed broadband, printers, and clean washrooms. Anyone interested in starting a workspace can apply, and the government will support them with rent and setup costs. For instance, the first workspace in any mandal will receive free rent for five years, along with assistance for furniture and office setup.
The idea, initially discussed under the state’s IT plans, has now evolved into a comprehensive policy. It is designed to benefit students, employees, freelancers, and small businesses by providing clean, safe, and affordable workspaces near their homes.
Former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Lokesh played a key role in bringing this policy to life. Their vision emphasizes decentralizing IT opportunities, ensuring that every district in Andhra Pradesh grows equally in the digital and IT sectors, rather than concentrating jobs in major cities.
With this innovative step, Andhra Pradesh is setting an example for the country, demonstrating how simple yet thoughtful ideas can make work-life easier and promote balanced regional development.
